I am a Borderline with 5 years of treatment. I keep getting knocked down by Life. I have lost the will to get up. I have had 3 job losses in the last year-the last one on last MOnday.

You sound like me. I'm a borderline and cannot hold a job. I started working on the net so I don't have to interact iwth people as much because I felt like everyone hated me in real life.

 u didn't mention if you've discussed this job thing with you T. perhaps your T could help you with suggestions. i don't have "borderline" but in many ways it's all about how we deal with stuff along with our MI. my bipolar used to get in the way at work sometimes and my T helped me a lot in therapy with tools to cope. so you titled this isolating, what are you doing to isolate? i do that too sometimes and maybe i can give you some suggestions if you elaborate. hope things improve for you. __________________ Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, in lonely frustration for the life you deserved, but have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desired can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours..~Ayn Rand |

I have lost 61 jobs over elevyn years...I NEVER gave up...now I am substitute teaching and looks like I will soon be receiving my master's, and be (sigh..) A KINDERGARTEN TEACHER!!
There was one other place that did not fire me, a family run restaurant wher I waited tables...aww..  Don't you give up, either, 3 is miniscule compared to 61. And they awarded me "Poohbah" status here at PC. The rest of the ****ing world does not know ****.... __________________

I have experimented losing a few jobs over the yrs, even getting "sacked" from two of them! it has affected me, I felt worthless after that. I think I give up too early... June Rain I think u are very brave! I wish I had your courage. Now I will remember u when I feel bad about myself and not give up so easily ! RappsEven though now I am unemployed at the moment!

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
